“Barns And Farms Of Connecticut”
The Theme
In our area, it’s not hard to find plenty of subject matter for this contest. Our contest theme leaves you plenty of room for creativity by not limiting you to photos of just barns. Entries will qualify as long as the image contains a subject or scene that is directly related to a farm. This would include barns(of course), sheds, fences, farm equipment, hay bales, farm animals in a farm setting, field workers, etc. Creativity and print quality, as always, will be what the judges a looking for. Shoot from different angles … shoot when the lighting is best for the subject … use early morning or late day low angle lighting … use filters to “improve” your images … use depth of field to create emphasis. I’m sure you can add much more to this list – so get out there and be creative!
Categories
This is a print competition with two categories – color and black-and-white. Digital Infrared images will be accepted in both categories, however, entries that are not Infrared must show no obvious signs of digital enhancement or manipulation. HDR images are acceptable as long as HDR was used to reduce the contrast range of the scene/subject … and are not “artistic” HDR iamges.
